Account management

I can walk you through keeping track of your business expense through your personal checking account, @ElenaP1. 

We'll have to first take note of the expenditure in QuickBooks Online by creating a journal entry. After that, let's reimburse the money used. We can do it as a check or an expense. Let me show you how:

To record the business expense you paid for with personal funds:

1. Go to + New.
2. Choose  Journal Entry.
3. On the first line, pick the expense account for the purchase.
4. Enter the purchase amount in the Debits column.
5. On the second line, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity.
6. Enter the same purchase amount in the Credits column.
7. Click on Save and close.

To reimburse your personal checking account:

Option 1: As a check

1. Click on + New.
2. Hit Check. Or if you're in the Business view, follow the steps to switch to Accountant view first. Then come back to these steps.
3. Pick a bank account to use to reimburse the personal funds.
4. Go to the Category column, and choose Partner's equity or Owner's equity.
5. Type in the amount to reimburse.
6. Select Save and close or Save and new.

Option 2: As an expense

1. Select + New.
2. Select Expense.
3. Select a bank account to use to reimburse the personal funds.
4. In the Category column, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity.
5. Enter the amount of the reimbursement.
6. Select Save and close.
